We took an impromptu beach trip to Hug Point on the Oregon Coast today. It’s a solid half mile of coastline riddled with sea caves and tide pools and rocky outcroppings. It was amazing.

To get an idea, here’s an overhead shot I took of Devil’s Punch Bowl last September between low and high tide. The sunlight from my previous photo was coming in through that center hole. We entered from the shadowy area to the right.

During low tide, we got to walk right inside of Devil’s Punch Bowl. This is the side view that is inaccessible during high tide. You can see the sunlight streaming in through the front where the waves crash in, down in the bottom right. Nature is amazing.
